So far away
Doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore It will be so fine to see your face at my door And it doesn't help to know that your just time away Long ago I reached for you and there you stood Holding you again could only do me good Oh how I wish I could but you're so far away One more song about moving along the highway I can't say much of anything that's new But if I could only work this life out my way I'd rather spend it being close to you but you're so far away Doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore It will be so fine to see your face at my door And it doesn't help to know you're so far away So far away, yeah you're so far away Traveling around sure get's me down and lonely Nothing else to do but close my mind And I sure hope the road don't get to own me There's so many dreams that I've yet to find But you're so far away Doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore It will be so fine to see your face at my door And it doesn't help to know you're so far away, you're so far away You're so far away, you're so far away Oh I need to get in touch with ya baby You're so very, very, very far away You're so, so far away |

I think I know now what's making me sad
It's a yearnin' for my own back yard I realize maybe I was wrong to leave Better swallow up my silly country pride Going home, running home Down to Gasoline Alley where I started from Going home, and I'm running home down to Gasoline Alley where I was born When the weather's better and the rails unfreeze and the wind don't whistle 'round my knees I'll put on my weddin' suit and catch the evening train I'll be home before the milk's upon the door Going home, running home down to Gasoline Alley where I started from Going home, and I'm running home down to Gasoline Alley where I was born But if anything should happen and my plans go wrong Should I stray to the house on the hill Let it be known that my intentions were good I'd be singing in my alley if I could And if I'm called away and it's my turn to go Should the blood run cold in my veins Just one favor I'll be asking of you Don't bury me here, it's too cold Take me back, carry me back Down to Gasoline Alley where I started from Take me back, won't you carry me home Down to Gasoline Alley where I started from Take me back, carry me back Down to Gasoline Alley where I started from Take me back, carry me back Down to Gasoline Alley where I started from Take me back, carry me back Down to Gasoline Alley where I started from |

If I listened long enough to you
I'd find a way to believe that it's all true Knowing that you lied straight-faced while I cried Still I look to find a reason to believe Someone like you makes it hard to live without somebody else Someone like you makes it easy to give never think about myself If I gave you time to change my mind I'd find a way just to leave the past behind Knowing that you lied straight-faced while I cried Still I look to find a reason to believe If I listened long enough to you I'd find a way to believe that it's all true Knowing that you lied straight-faced while I cried Still I look to find a reason to believe Someone like you makes it hard to live without somebody else Someone like you makes it easy to give never think about myself |

Billy left his home with a dollar in his pocket
And a head full of dreams He said - somehow someway it's gotta get better than this. Patti packed her bags left a note for her mamma - She was just seventeen she kissed her little sister goodbye. There were tears in her eyes when They held each other tight as they drove on through the night They were so exited. |

Spent some time feelin' inferior standing in front of my mirror Combed my hair in a thousand ways but I came out looking just the same Daddy said, "Son, you better see the world I wouldn't blame you if you wanted to leave But remember one thing don't lose your head to a woman that'll spend your bread" So I got out Paris was a place you could hide away if you felt you didn't fit in French police wouldn't give me no peace They claimed I was a nasty person Down along the Left Bank minding my own Was knocked down by a human stampede Got arrested for inciting a peacful riot when all I wanted was a cup of tea I was accused I moved on Down in Rome I wasn't getting enough of the things that keeps a young man alive My body stunk but I kept my funk at a time when I was right out of luck Getting desperate indeed I was Looking like a tourist attraction Oh my dear I better get out of here 'for the Vatican don't give no sanction I wasn't ready for that, no no I moved right out east yeah! On the Peking ferry I was feeling merry sailing on my way back here I fell in love with a slit eyed lady by the light of an eastern moon Shangai Lil never used the pill She claimed that it just ain't natural She took me up on deck and bit my neck Oh people I was glad I found her Oh yeah I was glad I found her I firmly believe that I didn't need anyone but me I sincerely thought I was so complete Look how wrong you can be The women I've known I wouldn't let tie my shoe They wouldn't give you the time of day But the slit eyed lady knocked me off my feet God I was glad I found her And if they had the words I could tell to you to help you on the way down the road I couldn't quote you no Dickens, Shelley or Keats 'cause it's all been said before Make the best out of the bad just laugh it off You didn't have to come here anyway So remember, every picture tells a story don't it |

Wake up Maggie I think I got something to say to you It's late September and I really should be back at school I know I keep you amused but I feel I'm being used Oh Maggie I couldn't have tried any more You lured me away from home just to save you from being alone You stole my heart and that's what really hurt The morning sun when it's in your face really shows your age But that don't worry me none in my eyes you're everything I laughed at all of your jokes my love you didn't need to coax Oh, Maggie I couldn't have tried any more You lured me away from home, just to save you from being alone You stole my soul and that's a pain I can do without All I needed was a friend to lend a guiding hand But you turned into a lover and mother what a lover, you wore me out All you did was wreck my bed and in the morning kick me in the head Oh Maggie I couldn't have tried anymore You lured me away from home 'cause you didn't want to be alone You stole my heart I couldn't leave you if I tried I suppose I could collect my books and get on back to school Or steal my daddy's cue and make a living out of playing pool Or find myself a rock and roll band that needs a helpin' hand Oh Maggie I wish I'd never seen your face You made a first-class fool out of me But I'm as blind as a fool can be You stole my heart but I love you anyway Maggie I wish I'd never seen your face I'll get on back home one of these days, |

When the rain came I thought you'd leave 'cause I knew how much you loved the sun But you chose to stay, stay and keep me warm through the darkest nights I've ever known If the mandolin wind couldn't change a thing then I know I love ya Oh the snow fell without a break Buffalo died in the frozen fields you know Through the coldest winter in almost fourteen years I couldn't believe you kept a smile Now I can rest assured knowing that we've seen the worst And I know I love ya Oh I never was good with romantic words so the next few lines come really hard Don't have much but what I've got is yours except of course my steel guitar Ha, 'cause I know you don't play but I'll teach you one day because I love ya I recall the night we knelt and prayed Noticing your face was thin and pale I found it hard to hide my tears I felt ashamed I felt I'd let you down No mandolin wind couldn't change a thing Couldn't change a thing no, no The coldest winter in almost fourteen years could never, never change your mind And I love ya Yes indeed and I love ya And I love ya Lordy I love ya |

If today was not an endless highway If tonight was not a crooked trail If tomorrow wasn't such a long time then lonesome would mean nothing to you at all Ah but only if my own true love is waitin' Yes and if I could hear her heart a softly poundin' only if she were lying by me would I rest in my bed once again I can't see my reflection in the mirror I can't speak the sounds that show no pain I can't hear the echoes of my footsteps and can't remember the sound of my own name Ah but only if my own true love is waitin' Yes and if I could hear her heart a softly poundin' only if she were lying by me would I rest in my bed once again There's beauty in the silver singin' river There's beauty in the sunlight in the sky But none of these, and nothing else can steal the beauty that I remember in my true love's eyes Ah but only if my own true love is waitin' Yes and if I could hear her heart a softly poundin' only if she were lying by me would I rest in my bed once again |

I used to feel so uninspired But when I knew I had to face another long, long day Girl I used to feel so tired Before the day I met you Life had been so unkind But you're the key to my peace of mind 'Cause you made me feel, you made me feel You made me feel like a natural man When my soul was in the lost and found You came along to claim it I didn't know, I didn't know just what was wrong with me 'Til your kiss helped me to name it Now I'm no longer doubtful of what I'm living for But if I make you happy I don't need to do more 'Cause you made me feel, you made me feel You made me feel like a natural man Oo baby, baby look what you have done to me Can't you see that you made me feel so good inside Don't you know that I just want to be Close to you, you made me feel so alive 'Cause you made me feel, you made me feel You made me feel like a natural man Baby I ain't doubtful of what I'm living for But if I make you happy I don't need to do more 'Cause you made me feel, you made me feel Well you made me feel like a natural man |

Sitting on my back door wondering which way to go
The sun's shining on my back and it hurts (child) The FM station plays another bad 45 And it's been so long since I had a good time It's been so long since I had a good time Never wrecked my head on a bandstand in the trombone or clarinet line When I come in heat on Bourbon Street for Mardi Gras When those for a cryin' just stay behind in the bar 'Cause it's been so long since I had a good time Yeah it's been so long since I had a good time I'm gonna lose control of my powers I might even lose my trousers Smash some glass, act like trash if I want Wear a skirt be a flirt if I want 'Cause it's been so long since I had a good time This prodigal man from Dixieland needs a good time right now, show me a good time right now You better take it while you can You gotta get it while you can And when the Man Upstairs he calls me He'll say "It's your turn son to come" Don't play the blues down in old Toulouse for me Let sleighbells ring and children sing in the street And tell all of my friends that I had a good time Open up the sky won't you ride me high Let's have a good time And if I'm late at heaven's gate blame a good time And when the angels sing I will join in Let's have a good time really I took my luck, I didn't give a fuck, I had a good time Tell all my friends only all my best to have a good time Goodbye |

Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline Remember me to the one who lives there She was once a true love of mine And if you're goin' when the snowflakes storm When the rivers freeze and summer ends Please see for me she has a coat so warm To keep her from the howling wind Would you see for me that her hair's hanging long That it rolls and flows all down her breasts See for me that her hair's hanging long 'Cause that's the way I remember her best But I'm a-wondering if she remembers me at all Many times I've often prayed In the darkness of my night In the brightness of my day So if you're traveling in the north country fair Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline Remember me to the one who lives there 'Cause she was once, she was once a true love of mine And she'll always be a true love of mine And I never, never, never, never give her up |

Tearing down the highway in the pouring rain escaping from my wedding day I heard the bells ringing in the local church the ceremony's nearly under way Telegrams came and the cheap champagne was driving everybody out of their brains But I convinced my best friends I lost my nerve and I pleaded I was being framed "Sailor show me which way to go" I screamed out loud "Sailor show me which way to go" Such a deadly silence due to my defiance the wedding ground to a halt Said I changed my mind ain't no use in your trying so her brother punched me in the throat her mother got hysterical the bitch was cynical father's in the corner drunk Picking myself off the floor I ran to the door damned if I was skippin' on my way "Sailor show me which way to go" You should have heard the noise Said "Sailor show me which way to go" So keep clean girlie find a man that's truly gonna love you from dusk till dawn Keep your front door key don't give him up for me 'cause tomorrow I may be gone You see, your wouldbe keepers ( ) all night creepin' nobody gonna change in there Who thinks a marriage life should be like a dog's life so let's renew it when the year runs out Sailor show me which way to go Sailor show me which way to go She had a belly full of lust but she had no bust |

You're as central as the air I breathe Almost impossible to believe that you're mine You're like weekends all year long under a hot Jamaican sun You are a winner at a hundred to one yes you are Something you've got is something I need right now You don't have to prove it no more I'm down on my bended knees honey What am I gonna do I'm so in love with you What am I gonna say if ever you go away One in a million oh so rare a nightengale in Berkeley Square and baby I ain't goin' nowhere without you You are the goal that wins the game the very last bus home in the rain You're like rock and roll and champagne all in one Something you've got is something I need right now Let's not mess around any more I'm down on my bended knees honey What am I gonna do I'm so in love with you What am I gonna say if ever you go away What am I gonna do I'm so in love with you What am I gonna say if ever you go away I'll be a sleek one of a kind and so difficult to define I could drink a case of you any time The Sistine Chapel and the Eiffel Tower a national anthem an April shower tomorrow's fashion and now I've found you I'm complete Something you've got is something I need right now You don't have to prove it no more I'm down on my bended knees honey What am I gonna do I'm so in love with you What am I gonna say if ever you go away I'm like a schoolboy in your hands I wanna get up and sing and dance You see one hell of a happy man standing here Individually quite unique You really swept me off my feet and baby you look oh so neat with nothing on |

Through these misty eyes
I see lonely skies Lonely road to Babylon Where's my family And my country Heaven knows where I belong Pack my bags tonight Here's one Jacobite Who must leave or surely die Put me on a train In the pouring rain Say farewell but don't say goodbye Chorus: Seagull carry me, over land and sea To my own folk, that's where I want to be Every beat of my heart Tears me further apart I'm lost and alone in the dark I'm going home One more glass of wine Just for auld lang syne And the girl I left behind How I miss her now In my darkest hour And the way our arms entwine Chorus And we'll drink a toast To the blood red rose Cheer a while the Emerald Isle And to the northern lights And the swirling pipes How they make a grown man cry Chorus |

to moonn6pence from shootingstar(papayeverte)
to moonn6pence from shootingstar In My Life - The Beatles (원곡) There are places I'll remember all my life though some have changed some forever not for better some have gone and some remain All these places have their moments with lovers and friends I still can recall some are dead and some are living in my life I've loved them all But of all these friends and lovers there is no one compares with you and these memories lose their meaning when I think of love as something new Though I know I'll never lose affection for people and things that went before I know I'll often stop and think about them in my life I love you more Though I know I'll never lose affection for people and things that went before I know I'll often stop and think about them in my life I love you more in my life I love you more 일생동안 일생동안 내가 기억하는 그런 곳들이 있어요 어떤곳은 다소 변하기도 했고 변하지않고 영원토록 그대로 있기도 하고 어떤 장소는 사라졌기도 하고 아직 남아 있기도 해요 이런 모든 곳들은 내가 아직도 기억할수 있는 연인과 친구들의 추억이 서린 순간들을 품고 있어요 하지만 이런 연인과 친구들의 기억들은 당신과 비교할 수 없어요 이런 추억들은 새로운 사랑을 생각할때 그 의미를 잃어 버려요 비록 그 사람들과 모든것들이 사라진다해도 그들에 대한 애정은 식지 않을거 라는 걸 알고 있어요 가끔 길을 가다 잠시 멈춰 생각하겠죠 '그 어느것보다 당신을 사랑했다' 고 비록 그 사람들과 추억의 장소들이 사라진다해도 그들에 대한 애정은 식지 않을거 라는 것도 알고 있어요 하지만 가끔 길을 가다 잠시 멈춰 생각하겠죠 '그 어느것보다 당신을 사랑했다' 고 나역시...그럴겁니다...from shootingstar |

Born and raised
In a motel in New Orleans I ran away with a hobo and his gypsy friends We rode a freight train up to Cleveland Across the Utah plains Proud men, troubadours torn and frayed Sleeping under the stars While gently strumming guitars Played the songs of Woddy Guthrie And the open road I knew right then I could never go home Cause the wild horse runs free forever Oh yeah, a wild horse runs free forever And ever and ever I met a girl From a family of position and wealth What a hand this rambler had been finally dealt A beauty six years and ten I felt the walls closing in Like a swollen river Bout to overflow Like a losing gambler I kept on rolling And a wild horse runs free forever Yeah yeah yeah A wild horse runs free forever The wild horse runs free forever Yeah yeah yeah A wild horse runs free forever Play the guitar So understand I must go But I'll drink you one last toast Oh here's to the heart and the hands of a man That come with the dust and are gone with the wind May the wild horse run free forever yeah the wild horse runs free forever The wild horse runs free forever Yeah the wild horse run free forever Wild guitar, baby, come on, wild I know, I know, I know, I know Play it for me, come on.

A summer's night, a small cafe We laughed so much, we almost cried Then I heard you say I think I'm falling in love with you I said Yeah, I'm the same way too I let you in You danced inside this old heart of mine I've realized baby You and I could never be But I just wanna thank you for the memories When I was your man When I was your man When I was your man Everything in my world seemed good and right I remember each and every day with you And every way I made love to you The way you made each day special God I miss you so You made me dance, you made me sing You showed me what happiness loving could bring The way we spent last summer together Seems so far away Excuse me baby If I sound a little blue The best times ever had I spent with you When I was your man When I was your man When I was your man Everything in my world seemed good and right I'm trying hard to carry on But the thought of you still lingers on The robe you wore still hangs behind my bedroom door Your dress rehearsals And schoolgirl pranks Your saxophone lessions, your cowboy hats The way we planned our lives together seems so far away When I was your man When I was your man When I was your man Everything in this world seemed good and right When I was your man When I was your man When I was your man Everything in this world seemed good and right |

has punched a hole in the night time mist I climb through the window and down to the street I'm shining like a new dime The downtown trains are full full of all them Brooklyn girls They try so hard to break out of their little worlds You wave your hand and they scatter like crows They have nothing that'll ever capture your heart They're just thorns without the rose Be careful of them in the dark Oh if I was the one you chose to be your only one Oh baby can't you hear me now, can't you hear me now Will I see you tonight on a downtown train Every night, every night its just the same On a downtown train I know your window and I know its late I know your stairs and your doorway I walk down your street and past your gate I stand by the light of the four way and watch them as they fall, oh baby They all having their heart attacks They stay at the carnival But they'll never win you back Will I see you tonight on a downtown train Every night, every night its just the same You leave me lonely Will I see you tonight on a downtown train All my dreams, all my dreams fall like rain On a downtown train Will I see you tonight on a downtown train Every night, every night its just the same Will I see you tonight on a downtown train All my dreams, all my dreams fall like rain On a downtown train On a downtown train All my dreams fall like rain On a downtown train |

Through these misty eyes
I see lonely skies Lonely road to Babylon Where's my family And my country Heaven knows where I belong Pack my bags tonight Here's one Jacobite Who must leave or surely die Put me on a train In the pouring rain Say farewell but don't say goodbye Chorus: Seagull carry me, over land and sea To my own folk, that's where I want to be Every beat of my heart Tears me further apart I'm lost and alone in the dark I'm going home One more glass of wine Just for auld lang syne And the girl I left behind How I miss her now In my darkest hour And the way our arms entwine Chorus And we'll drink a toast To the blood red rose Cheer a while the Emerald Isle And to the northern lights And the swirling pipes How they make a grown man cry Chorus |

May the good Lord be with you down every road you roam.

And in my heart you will remain Forever young. (Forever young) Forever young. (Forever young) Forever young. Forever young And when you fin'lly fly away, I'll be hoping that I served you well. For all the wisdom of a lifetime, no one can ever tell. But whatever road you choose, I'm right behind you win or lose, Forever young. (Forever young) Forever young. (Forever young) Forever young. Forever young For forever young |

I think I know now what's making me sad
It's a yearnin' for my own back yard I realize maybe I was wrong to leave Better swallow up my silly country pride Going home, running home Down to Gasoline Alley where I started from Going home, and I'm running home down to Gasoline Alley where I was born When the weather's better and the rails unfreeze and the wind don't whistle 'round my knees I'll put on my weddin' suit and catch the evening train I'll be home before the milk's upon the door Going home, running home down to Gasoline Alley where I started from Going home, and I'm running home down to Gasoline Alley where I was born But if anything should happen and my plans go wrong Should I stray to the house on the hill Let it be known that my intentions were good I'd be singing in my alley if I could And if I'm called away and it's my turn to go Should the blood run cold in my veins Just one favor I'll be asking of you Don't bury me here, it's too cold Take me back, carry me back Down to Gasoline Alley where I started from Take me back, won't you carry me home Down to Gasoline Alley where I started from Take me back, carry me back Down to Gasoline Alley where I started from Take me back, carry me back Down to Gasoline Alley where I started from Take me back, carry me back Down to Gasoline Alley where I started from |

Ever seen a blind man cross the road
trying to make the other side Ever seen a young girl growing old trying to make herself a bride So what becomes of you my love When they have finally stripped you of The handbags and the gladrags That your Grandad had to sweat so you could buy Baby Once I was a young man and all I thought I had to do was smile You are still a young girl and you bought everything in style Listen But once you think you're in you're out 'cause you don't mean a single thing without the handbags and the gladrags that your Grandad had to sweat so you could buy Sing a song of six-pence for your sake And take a bottle full of rye Four and twenty blackbirds in a cake And bake them all in a pie They told me you missed school today So what I suggest you just throw them all away the handbags and the gladrags that your poor old Granddad had to sweat to buy They told me you missed school today So I suggest you just throw them all away the handbags and the gladrags that your poor old Granddad had to sweat to buy ya |

Ain't superstitious, black cat crossed my trail. I ain't superstitious, but a black cat crossed my trail. Bad luck ain't got me so far, and I won't let it stop me now. The dogs begin to bark, all over my neighborhood. And that ain't all. Dogs begin to bark, all over my neighborhood. Mmm-mmm This is a mean old world to live in, And I can't face it all by myself, at all. And, dogs begin to bark, all over my neighborhood. The dogs begin to bark, all over my neighborhood. I got a feelin' about the future, and it ain't too good, I know that. I know, I know, I know. Ain't superstitious, but black cat crossed my trail, (I said it so many times before) Ain't superstitious, a black cat crossed my trail. Bad luck ain't got me so far, and you know I ain't gonna let it stop me now. Come on |

I can tell by your eyes that you've probably been crying forever,
and the stars in the sky don't mean nothing to you, they're a mirror. I don't want to talk about it, how you broke my heart. If I stay here just a little bit longer, If I stay here, won't you listen to my heart, ohh my heart? If I stand all alone, will the shadow hide the color of my heart; blue for the tears, black for the night's fears. The star in the sky don't mean nothing to you, they're a mirror. I don't want to talk about it, how you broke my heart. If I stay here just a little bit longer, if I stay here, won't you listen to my heart, ohh my heart? my heart, ohh my heart, this old heart. I don't want to talk about it, how you broke my heart If I stay here just a little bit longer, if I stay here, won't you listen to my heart, ohh my heart? My heart, ohh my heart. |

Ever since I was a kid at school
I messed around with all the rules Apologised then realised I'm not different after all Me and the boys thought we had it sussed Valentinos all of us My dad said we looked ridiculous But boy we broke some hearts In and out of jobs, running free Waging war with society Dumb blank faces stare back at me But nothing ever changed Promises made in the heat of the night Creeping home before it got too light I wasted all that precious time and blamed it on the wine Chorus: I was only joking my dear Looking for a way to hide my fear What kind of fool was I I could never win Never found a compromise Collected lovers like butterflies Illusions of that grand first prize are slowly wearing thin Susy baby you were good to me Giving love unselfishly But you took it all too seriously I guess it had to end (Chorus) Now you ask me if I'm sincere That's the question that I always fear Verse seven is never clear But I'll tell you what you want to hear I try to give you all you want But giving love is not my strongest point If that's the case it's pointless going on I'd rather be alone 'Cause what I'm doing must be wrong Pouring my heart out in a song Owning up for prosperity For the whole damn world to see Quietly now while I turn a page Act one is over without costume change The principal would like to leave the stage The crowd don't understand |

Early in the morning I can't sleep
I can't work and I can't eat I've been drunk all day, can't concentrate Maybe I'm making a big mistake Caught me down like a killer shark It's like a railroad running right through my heart Jekyll and Hyde the way I behave Feel like I'm running on an empty gauge Oh no not again It hurts so good I don't understand Infatuation Infatuation Infatuation Infatuation Heart beats silly like a big bass drum Losing all equilibrium It's so hard in the middle of the week Maybe this woman's just all I need Oh no not again It hurts so good I don't understand Infatuation Infatuation Infatuation Infatuation 'Fatuate me baby Spirits soar when I'm by her side She put a little love in this heart of mine Maybe I'm lucky, maybe I'm freed Maybe this woman's just all I need Oh no not again It hurts so good I don't understand Infatuation Infatuation Infatuation Infatuation Rev it up |

Baby used to stay out all night long
She made me cry You know she done me wrong She held my eyes open and that's no lie Tables turned and now it's her turn to cry But then I used to love her but it's all over now Yes it is But then I used to love her but it's all over now Listen She used to run around with every single man in town Spent all my money playing her fast game She put me out, it was a pity how I cried But the tables turned and now it's her turn to cry Because I used to love her but it's all over now Ain't no lie because I used to love her but it's all over now Listen Well I used to wake the morning get my breakfast in bed When I got worried she'd ease my aching head But now she's here and there with every single man in town But the tables turned and now it's her turn to cry Because I used to love her but it's all over now Yes it is Because I used to love her but it's all over now Listen to this one Because I used to love her but it's all over now But then I used to love her but it's all now wait a minute But then I used to love her but you know but you know it's all over now But then I used to love her but you know it's all over now |

I may not seem your ideal
when you look into my eyes I don't smoke, I don't tell jokes I'm not the custom made size But baby let me take you out on the highway for awhile I'll show you where the man in me is when he doesn't hide He's cruisin' in the fast lane stuck behind the wheel Jekyll and Hyde going on inside when I'm your automobile And let me be your car for awhile child shift me into gear and I'll be there fill me up with five star gasoline I'll be your car I'll take you anywhere Don't you know I can't dance I don't dig it, I can't see it at all You say I'm just a specimen and baby I can crawl My physique just don't look the way the physiques really should But then again I've got an engine underneath my hood When I'm cutting up the road with a sports car on my tail Frankenstein's inside my mind and the wind's inside my sails |

(Michael D'Abo)
[produced by Michael D'Abo, A side of Immediate 060, 1968] There has to be a reason Why everyone speaks bad of my baby I think I know that reason And it is oh so sad They say she walks the streets But that's not strictly true She's got a lot to eat And she's not as rich as you She's just a little miss understood That's all Everyone needs somebody To get them through that time You may not love that someone As much as I love mine But if she walks the streets Does that condemn her soul Or is heaven so complete it rejects a heart of gold She's just a little miss understood a little miss understood A little miss understood That's all And if she walks the streets Does that condemn her soul Or is heaven so complete it rejects a heart of gold She's just a little miss understood a little miss understood She's just a little miss understood That's all And if she walks the streets Does that condemn her soul Or is heaven so complete [fade] |
